A century or so ago highwaymen flour
ished everywhere in Europe and America.
The progress of civilization, the changed
methods OF travelling and various other
things finally made it inconvenient and
Improbable for the knights OF the road to
pursue their calling, and they disappeared
from the stage, much to the satisfaction OF
tourists and the public generally.
Within The past year or two, however,
new set of highwaymen have made their
appearance in some Of the western and
southwestern states, and their boldness and
the extent OF their operations make them
worthy successors Of the Duvals and Tur-
pins OF the oldcn time. In Texas it is no
very unusual thing for train load of pas
sengcrs to be robbed by few determined
men, and it seems to be settled fact that
one stalWavt desperate is more than match

The Ballinger and san Angelo stage was
halted in a lonely place By a solitary bandit,
who presented two reyolyers to the drivers

his Victims with a cap, and ordered them 10

CONFEDERATE HOME
DRAWING.
The Lucky Numbers Published
Manager Not Yet Able
to Report.

A reporter of the HERALD called
this morning OIL John A. Harrington
manager of the Confederate Home
drawing, which has according to the
managers report, just come of.
Mr.. Harrington says that he is IN
able to make financial report at this
time, and in fact will not be able to do
so for three weeks at least, as they
have fifty agents in different parts OF
the State who have not yet sent in
their returns. lie has no idea yet
of the size of the amount
realized. lie says he was disappointed
at the result of the sale of tickets in
Dallas. 1t did not reach half the
amount he had hoped it would. lie
explained the apparent evidence of a
drawing different from that previous
" advertised, which stated that the
party purchasing the greatest number
of tickets would receive prizes. just
before the drawing came OIL they dis
covered that the PARTIES who had pur-
chased such tickets had distributed
them to other parties. For instance,
Sanger Bros. bought twenty-five
tickets and gave them to
their employees, aud this being
the case certain number had to be
selected out of the 20 tickets that
would get the prize, hence they arc un-
able at this time to tell who the par
ties are who are holders of lucky tick
cts.
The management seem to be disap-
pointed and the peope somewhat in
differently dissatisfied.

a Cause of Badness.

A writer in the current Popular
Science Monthly maintains with great
plausibllity that badness is chiefly
caused by wearing OF head-gear that
"constricts the blood-vessels which
nourish the hair.bulbs." He cites the
fact that hairless heads are chiefly con
fined TO men, women being compar-
atively exempt from the affection, and
mainly to members OF the male sex
who are in good circumstances and
who spend larger portion OF the day
out OF doors and consequently have
their crowns covered more than III
door workers. The high hat and the
hard felt hat receive the brunt oil the
criticism, inasmuch as they, especially,
exert such q pressure upon the arteries
passing upward over the sides OF the
skull that the flow OF blood to the
roots OF the hair is restricted. As
result the hair is starved and falls
out. Bald men are seldom without
hair around the base OF the head,
which portion is exposed to the air,
and is below the line OF pressure; and
badness invariably begins on the top
ofthe head, where the circulation is the
weakest. The writer asserts: "lhave
never seen q person whosee habitual
head-covering was soft and yield
ing suffer from badness. The agri-
.nlturist, whose habit it is to wear
the loosest head-coverings during the
greater part OF his life, has usually
more hair than rs conducive to com
iort; but bis son who has taken to
city life may be bald at thirty"
What this theorist propounds is enii-
tied to consideration. The proofs
which he cites are open to observation
)fpvery person; and Others may ~.

"Jerry's" Opinion !

Baltimore American. 7'zSF'N
One OF Mrs. Cleveland's most enthu'
siastic admirers is Jerry, the cable
factotum OF the White House, who is
to be seen by the frequenter at any
and all hours bent upon the faithful
discharge OF his duties. The nature
OF Jerry's vocation is like the famed
plume OF Navarre-ever in sight in the
thickest OF the fray; for armed with a
pail of water and along-handled brush
for cleaning the windows, or the all
powerful broom, he seems ubiquitous.
He is q tall, fine-looking negro, with
gray head and agreea BILE face, obliging
in manner and never so busy but he
can stop for q pleasant word with any
one who may chance to question him
upon his favorite subject the fair
yonng mistress OF the White House.
Mention the magic name and Jerry is
all attention in % moment. Down
goes the pail OF water and brush, as,
resting one hand on his hip, the Jolly
old atom and jerry" as he is famil-
iarly called, prepares himself Tor q
glowing eulogium. "Fore de Lord, eff

Swedish Social Etiquette.

All through Sweden social intercourse is
encountered with much c~eremonious Ell
quette, particularly among the lauded
gentry. The three Scandinavian tongues
employ the two personal prOnOuns thou
and you" the first Familiarity, the second
when speaking to a mere acquaintance.
But u well-bred Swedish gentleman ad,
dressing a stranger will always, with old,
fashioned courtesy, substitute the equiya'
lent for Monsieur" regardless of harrow
ing repetitiOns, and where a title is de
manded, even under the difficulties 81
rapid speech, it is never for a moment
omitted. As such polit:neSs, however, in
the end becomes both mOnotOnOus and
weariSOme, they have n practical way Of
cutting the GOrdian knot.
When a casual acquaintanceship has
ripened into genial sympathy or mutual
respect, your Swedish friend at once pro-
poses "a brotherhood" This is a distinct
social ordeal, the initiation to which de-
mands a special rite. The man who has
requested the honor of becoming your
brother provides you with a glass of wine
filled to the brim, he himself holding an
other; both rise, each linking the right
arm of each; looking one another boldly
in the eyes and pronOuucing the words;
'tSkal brorI!' the beakers are emptled.
Hence you are expected TO use the prOnoun
thou" and you take your stand on the
footing of relationship. Among the rem
iniscences OF this visit to Nermland is an
evening when acquired NJ less than six

iect of ancienne politeSse, | should men

afterward was the result of a suggestion

A PETTICOATED CRUEsUS.

The Richest Woman In the World to Pay
Us Visit.
A New York correspondent writes in the
Savannah Ne1cS rs follows:
1t is settled, l suppose, that the DOna
IsadOra CouSinO is coming to New York rs
soon as the season is fairly opened this
winter. If she does, the city will have .
sensation, and one of a sort that it appre-
ciates. The Gillian money queen never
does anything by halves. She pro-
poses to take a house, furnish 1t
as few houses in New York
have ever been furnished, and it is in the
air that she means to show New Workers
how unlimited cash can entertain. She
can teach q lesson or two in that art if she
tries. She is a learned professor, and
money fetches New York every time. The
Sonora CousinO is something more than
the richest woman in the world. She has
one of the biggest fortunes held by either
sex, possibly the largest on the Western
continent. She Is, unless the last season
or two has faded her greatly, something Of
a beauty. She is a great deal Of an ccceu-
tric, and not a little bit OF Il genius.
The DOna IsadOra is not much short OF
40, but she looks younger. She is rather
above medium height and dresses TO look
tall. Her figure is graceful, hut her hig
dark eyes are her taking features. Her
skin is aSpanish brown with a dash Of red
under it, and she has quantities OF dark
hair. She is one of the best dressed women
in the world in an imperial sort OF way
and with II daring use OF color. Idoubt ii
there is anywhere IA private jewel Collec'
ton to equal hem. There arc two slender
graceful daughters, who are in their teens,
who will come out in New York, and high
times are ahead. Mother and girls speak
the purest English, as all Chiliaus do.
The sonora isa tropical creature and, if all
tales of her are true, subject to cyclones.
